Might the Smoking Ban in Britain Take Bingo Players On to the Web?

A lot has been stated in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry being hurt as a result of the smoking ban in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However does the web version of this traditional game provide a escape, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo is an enduring game normally played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had witnessed a recent comeback in popularity with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo halls rather than the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the cigarette ban all over UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most common places where folks enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo halls. Numbers have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they haven’t deserted this age old game?

The answer is on the internet. Players realize that they can play bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and still enjoy massive prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course gambling on on the net is unlikely to replace the collective portion of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a lot of bingo players with no option.
